Jazz Noir: 1950–1966

Eight classic films of the '50s & '60s with classic jazz scores composed by and featuring jazz musicians—real and fictional—on screen, off screen, and (in most cases) both.

Curated by Ed Cardoni
Popular crime and courtroom drama with an all-star cast: Jimmy Stewart (nominated for a Best Actor Oscar), Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, George C. Scott & Arthur O'Connell (both nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar), Eve Arden, Kathryn Grant (Mrs. Bing Crosby), Brooks West (Arden's husband), and Joseph N. Welch as "Judge Weaver," with acclaimed jazz score (and on-screen appearance in the role of roadhouse piano player "Pie-Eye") by Duke Ellington. Nominated for seven Oscars in all, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, from the bestselling novel by Robert Traver, pen name of Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker, who served as legal technical advisor. Filmed on location in Voelker's hometown of Ishpeming, Michigan and other sites around Big Bay on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
